Vision
Designed to advance research in matters of religion
Mission
As an authoritative catalogue of religion-related web resources on the internet.
Goals
No updates since 2007. To provide a research tool, not to circumvent tours of worthy sites, but to cut down the time spent on surfing & sorting of automated searches.
Approach
Providing a search index because one needs something deeper than a list of favorites, yet more circumspect than a search engine.
Structure
Expertly researched content indexed and built as a website over 10 years until 2007, originally hosted at Rutgers.
